There is a strange phenomenon con-
ncctcd with the Upper Red river. 1 have
several times been stranded by low water
in the Upper Red, say 500 miles below
the source, lying with a steamboat for
weeks awaiting rain and n rise. Without
any rain in the vicinity of where the boat
was l have seen the river come up twenty
feet or more in n night. 1 figure out
the phenomenon this way: The sources
of the Red river are in the Liano Estacado
of New Mexico, and tSe rains falling upon
these great plains pour down into the
Acad waters of the river, and the water
comes rushing down many hundreds of
miles, where there have been no rains for
weeks, and thus result in the unlocked
for swell in the water. Globe Democrat.

At the Comstock silver mines in Vir-
ginia City mining science has reached its
highest point, according to a San Fran
cisco newspaper, which says that there
they carry water down n vertical shaft
to the depth Of 1 200 feet, and then a
it back to the surface, running the gigan-
tic mills by the 1,7OO foot pressure.
When the plan WIS suggested to engi-
neers of Europe they laughed at it.; but
now it's a proved success, and furnishes
n power UNNECESSARILY greater and
cheaper than anything hitherto applied in

Afraid of Electricity.

Practical men seem to nave n lingering
distrust of electric motors. Many of them
admit that these motors will work, but
shake their heads and look dubious when

of mystery about 1t that makes its work.

1t is not true that its workings are not
understood. The electric motor is today
in practical working shape. 1t will do
continuous hard work. 1t may be started
or stopped by II twist of the wrist. 1t is
the most efficient motor known. There is
no reason whatever, except public con-

DIVORCE REFORM.

Petitions Presented to the House Asking
National Supervision Over Loose Mar
riagc Laws
WASHINGTON, Jan. GA petition was
presented in the House Saturday, in which
Congress is asked to take some action us to
loose divorce laws in the States The
friends of the National divorce reform are
about to press again upon Congress the
necessity for tho passage Of the measure
providing for the collection of statistics
relative to marriage and divorce in all
the States and Territories. This measure
passed the Senate in tho last Congress, but
was not acted upon in tho House. The Ma.
tional Divorces Reform League was organ
lied in January, 1881, and its membership
includes distinguished representatives OF
the various Christian bodies. The object Of
the league is to promote an improve
ment in public sentiment and legis-
lation on the institution of the fam.
lily, especially as affected by exist.
ing evils relating to marriage and
divorce. Tho gathering OF statistics Of
divorce which the league has so far with its
limited resources been able TO effect shows
most alarming condition of affairs The
loose marriage and divorce laws which dis.
grace the statutes of some OF the States
have caused an unparalleled increase of di.
vorces. The league has done good work
since its organization and through its eff
forts two or three Of the New England
States have modified their divorce laws

PROPOSED NEW BUILDING
Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciation, Cincinnati, Q.
A Brief History OF the Association from
Its 1nception--the Work In Ohio.

The Young Mems Christian Association had its
inception IN London, England, in 1914. George
Williams, n young man OF twcnty-unc years,
was deeply impressed with tho needs OF young
men who were spending their time in ,dlcncss
and GOdlcssness, After communicating his
Feelings to young man who he Thought would
sympnthize with him, steps we're taken to form
an organization. At first they met with some
opposition from sources where they had leust
reason to expect IL, and u WIS not until many
counscls had been hud, and much
prayer that II small organization was effected.
The coffce.houscs were tho places where meet
ings were frequently held for counsel the bed.
chumbcrs were tho places for small gatherings
for prayer. Mr.. Williams has grown to be one
OF London's prncely merchants, und is the hon
Orcd president OF the London Association-the
largest In the world.
Tho influence OF this Association has extended
70 nll parts OF the globe. America has 1,OG6 US
socintions, and Europe Is sending men to this
country to be trained as General Secretaries, or
Superintcndents as they were formerly called.
Bishop Peck, in his History OF the Great ltcpub-
lfc says: mo other agency hus yet been dis
covered In which arc combined, to the same de-
gree those desirable constituent elements

ness, efficiency, sympathy and vitality"
The work in the United States and
British provinces IS carried on under
the direction of international, State und local
committees. The headquarters OF the Intcrna-
tional Committee Is in New York.
The State work OF Ohio was begun shortly nf-
ter the war, the Cincinnati Association being tho
iirst, though II was organized prior to the war.

Uses of the Bees Sting.

A bee expert claims to have disc.ov-
cred that the sting of the bee is pro-
vided and used for tlavoring the honey,
and for injecting into it n small quan-
tity OF formic acid-which is the poison,
OF the sting-for this purpose, and for
preserving it from fermentation. II
this be true it corroborates the belief
that nothing exists for Il single purpose
alone, andthat the bees sting has other
uses than for enabling it to defend its
home and young and store of food from
robbers of all kinds, and for killing oil

served the purpose for which they ex-
listed. IN. Y. Times.

1.-THE bill provides that when the President
shall be satisfied that any American fishing

crews, are denied or abridged any OF the
rights secured to them nv treaty or law or
are subjected to unreasonable restrictions,
regulations or requirements in respect to

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 25.-Tne news of
the passing OF the retaliation bill against
Canada was received here with consid-
cradle surprise, as there had been fe IL
ing, encouraged by some Of the papers,
that the bill was only introduced as
threat, and that it would receive hoist
till the next session of Congress Canadian
shippers are very much grieved over the
prospective injury that the enforcement
OF the bill at any time may do Cana

OF the bill has been to breed fresh discon-
tent against the present Conservative Gov
ernment Of Canada for its action on the
fishery question and failure to take the
proper steps to negotiate new treaty with

deavors to introduce some measure that
will produce the friendliest possible rela-
